Description
Cromwell Lodge is a house dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed with a timber frame and brick, all covered in plaster, and has a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The main part of the building faces south and consists of a long range, with the right section being wider and taller than the left. The left section features one axial stack in the middle and another at the left end, while the right section includes a rear stack and an additional wing. The house has two storeys, and beyond the right wing is a 19th-century single-storey extension that is weatherboarded and has an end stack, along with a small 20th-century extension with a flat roof. Behind the left part of the main range is another wing that has a stack on the left side. Between the two rear wings is a 19th-century two-storey lean-to extension with a slate roof.
On the ground floor, there is a tripartite sash window with 2-4-2 lights, two sashes with four lights each, and a splayed bay window with 2-2-2 lights, all dating from the late 19th century. The first floor features a similar tripartite sash and four additional sashes. The entrance includes a moulded four-panel door with sidelights and a fanlight set in a semi-elliptical arch, accessed by three stone steps with a wrought iron handrail on each side, each supported by four plain stanchions and a cast iron newel with a knob. To the left, double vehicle gates have spiked top rails, posts topped with cast iron thistle finials, and a shallow arch made of square wrought iron bars with a central twist. The pargetting on the building is in low relief and is dated 1902.
On the first floor of the left side of the right rear wing, there is a 19th-century horizontal sash window with 12+12 lights. The rear elevation of the left rear wing features a 19th-century French window with marginal lights, and above it is an 18th-century Gothick sash window with 6+6 lights and wide flat glazing bars. Inside, the entrance hall, located between the two parts of the main range, has an early 19th-century quarter-turn staircase with a wreathed handrail, stick balusters, and scrolled tread-ends. In the ground-floor room to the right, there is a white marble fire surround.
